At the GSPCA Animal Shelter in St Andrews we have two permanent and a casual post which we are currently looking to recruit individuals with excellent customer and animal care skills.
Working for the GSPCA is a diverse and often challenging position with great rewards from the 3000 animals we help through the doors 24/7 each year to the community we serve here in Guernsey.
The posts currently advertised are –
Full Time Animal Care Assistant Post (with Animal Ambulance Collection Officer, Reception & Night duties) Post – Primarily Kennels
The GSPCA are currently looking for additional casual staff members to help with our increasingly busy front desk, the animals, guided tours, cleaning and to continue to develop our charity shop area.
Casual positions help cover the 7 day a week work, especially on weekends and bank holidays when the GSPCA is often extremely busy and very much with cover for holidays or illness.
Please watch out for poorly gulls in Guernsey
Beckie Bailey GSPCA Animal care Assistant wants to share some advice after a very busy weekend at the GSPCA with sick and injured gulls -
“Over the weekend The GSPCA have had 8 gulls come into our care with similar symptoms, not being able to fly and very lethargic.
One of the Gulls that was found outside Waitrose threw up this wooden skewer when at GSPCA.
Last night we held our 10th Volunteer Induction of 2019 and greeted 13 new faces keen to help.
The induction was taken by GSPCA Manager Steve Byrne who greeted the group. From gardening to caring for the animals each were keen to help in a variety of way.
The first 3 of the group start tomorrow morning with the others later on this month and one in October.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “It was lovely to meet all 13 new volunteers last night.”
Tomorrow we hold 10th Volunteer Induction of 2019 having inducted 98 volunteers through this years events.
We often see 10 or more new volunteers, placements, work experience and individuals looking to help us at the GSPCA and if 13 come along to the next event we will have inducted 100 volunteers through them this year.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “We cannot achieve so much without the incredible volunteers and team we have here at the GSPCA.”
This morning the GSPCA team had an alarm to start the day as a fire drill and training took place.
The GSPCA team learn something new every day as we have such a range on animals come into our care and a huge array of demands on our services.
We also carry out training and refresher training to remind the team on the procedures and processes we need to carry out each day and also in an emergency.
Earlier this year we had fire training thanks to the Guernsey Fire Service and team members have had training with G4S in using a range of fire equipment.
The GSPCA are looking forward to the upcoming Eat, Drink and Be Local Seafront Sunday.
That’s right once again we are delighted to say that you will be able to see the GSPCA this wonderful event.
We will have our fun stall with a full range of tombolas, games and GSPCA goods and we are very much looking forward being part of this fantastic event.
